Did you recently see a pillow in the store that you liked? Do you want to make it at home but don't know much about using a pillow form? Let's figure it out together. Let's say the pillow was black and had a white stripe in the middle, it was a striped pillow with the two black stripes on either end and a white one in the middle.
You decided you want your pillow to be 16x16 and have purchased the corresponding size of pillow form. You could use a pattern, but why not play a little until you get exactly what you want. What you will end up with is a uniquely designed one of a kind pillow created by you.
This project is basically all straight lines. Let's choose some fabric and get a tape measure and have some fun. If you don't want the black/white pattern on the back, just choose a corresponding color of fabric for the back. Then cut out a piece of the fabric you have chosen for the back in a 17.5" x 17.5" square.
Next, cut one white panel and two black panels, each panel will be 17.5" x 6". Sew them together, making sure to put the"right" sides together when you sew them together, along the long sides. Next you are going to take the piece for the back and the pieces you've sewn together for the front and sew them together. Make sure you leav a space of about 9" open in the middle of one of the sides, this is how you will turn it right side out and get your pillow form inside the pillow. . Reach your hand in through the opening and turn the thing right side out. Squish the pillow form and gently shove it in though the opening; Make sure the pillow form is sitting evenly and reaches into all the corners. Carefully hand stitch the opening shut.
If you want the panels on the back, too, just cut another set of panels instead of the 17.5" square back piece. I think it would be fun if the front was black-white-black and the back was white-black-white, but that's just me.
If you want different sized panels on your pillow you can just experiment, cutting different size pieces to piece together for your front piece. Just make sure the numbers all add up to 18. For example, you could have 2 black panels 7" wide and a 4" white one, for example, or you could have a 9" black, a 6" white, and a 3" black one, the point is all your panels have to add up to 18 inches. If you feel more comfortable you can always draw this out on paper and color it in so you can see what it'll look like before you cut your fabric.

The One $12.99 The definitive biography of James Brown, the Godfather of Soul, with fascinating findings on his life as a Civil Rights activist, an entrepreneur, and the most innovative musician of our time Playing 350 shows a year at his peak, with more than forty Billboard hits, James Brown was a dazzling showman who transformed American music. His life offstage was just as vibrant, and until now no biographer has delivered a complete profile. The One draws on interviews with more than 100 people who knew Brown personally or played with him professionally. Using these sources, award-winning writer RJ Smith draws a portrait of a man whose twisted and amazing life helps us to understand the music he made. The One delves deeply into the story of a man who was raised in abject-almost medieval-poverty in the segregated South but grew up to earn (and lose) several fortunes. Covering everything from Brown's unconventional childhood (his aunt ran a bordello), to his role in the Black Power movement, which used "Say It Loud (I'm Black and Proud)" as its anthem, to his high-profile friendships, to his complicated family life, Smith's meticulous research and sparkling prose blend biography with a cultural history of a pivotal era. At the heart of The One is Brown's musical genius. He had crucial influence as an artist during at least three decades; he inspires pity, awe, and revulsion. As Smith traces the legend's reinvention of funk, soul, R&B, and pop, he gives this history a melody all its own. |

No One $12.95 Cleaning up her father’s home after his death, Gwenaëlle Aubry discovered a handwritten, autobiographical manuscript with a note on the cover: “to novelize.” The title was The Melancholic Black Sheep, but the subtitle, An Inconvenient Specter, had been crossed out. The specter? Her father’s disabling bipolar disorder. Aubry had long known that she wanted to write about her father; his death, and his words, gave her the opportunity to explain his many absences — even while he was physically present — and to sculpt her memory of him. No One is a fictional memoir in dictionary form that investigates the many men behind the masks, and a unified portrait evolves. "A" describes her father’s adopted persona as Antonin Artaud, the poet/playwright; "B" is for James Bond; and, finally, "Z" is for Zelig, the Woody Allen character who could transform his appearance to that of the people around him. Letter by letter, Aubry gives shape and meaning to the father who had long disappeared from her view. The whole is a beautifully written, vivid exploration of a particular experience of mental illness and what it can reveal more generally about human experience. |
